Chailly's last appearances in Amsterdam exemplified his range as a conductor - there was a new production of Verdi's Don Carlo for Netherlands Opera, running in parallel with performances of Mahler's Ninth Symphony in the orchestra's home at the Concertgebouw itself.
Yet Chailly has shown consistently that he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as any of his predecessors.
Chailly's father Luciano was a composer, and Riccardo has always been a vigorous champion of contemporary music, as well as a commanding interpreter of the early 20th-century modernist repertoire, which he conducts as well as anybody alive today.

Over the past decade or so, Riccardo Chailly has completed an impressively consistent Mahler symphonies cycle with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, with some of the recordings at the top of many lists (such as the Fifth from a few years back, and this year’s Third and Ninth).
Chailly’s Mahler no doubt sounds less neurotic – he doesn’t dwell on the craziness, angularity and violence – but I suspect Chailly has other priorities, one of which might be clarifying Mahler’s dense ideas to present to an overstimulated 21
It was Chailly’s stage demeanor that caused the disagreement.

 RICCARDO CHAILLY/ROYAL CONCERTGEBOUW ORCHESTRA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Gustav Mahler’s great message of love and salvation is a masterpiece of reckless audacity, and this new recording boasts a distinguished Mahler conductor, one of the world’s great Mahler orchestras, and a high-profile line-up of soloists that includes Jane Eaglen, Anna Larsson, and Ben Heppner.
Like Claudio Abbado’s recent account, Chailly’s conception of the piece is broad and expansive, worlds away from the dynamic approaches of Georg Solti and Leonard Bernstein.
One advantage of this approach is that he’s able to build peaks rather than just rushing from one to the next: when the “Veni Creator” opening returns, it sounds like a real climax and not a mere highlight.

Riccardo Chailly [+] was the fastest emerging young conductor in Europe in the 1970s and 1980s, and has fulfilled the early promise such a description implied.
Chailly, however, points out that the orchestra has a tradition of appointing young music directors; of its three prior chief conductors Bernard Haitink [+] and Eduard Van Beinem were also in their mid-thirties when appointed and Willem Mengleberg was only twenty-four.
There is a potential problem looming for Chailly; in late 1998 he had to cancel some guest conducting appearances because of a developing arthritic condition in his shoulder.

However, one popular idea that Chailly does endorse is the contention that Italy suffers from a lack of good orchestras – even though the country has produced many fine conductors, from the legendary Arturo Toscanini to Giuseppe Sinopoli, Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Muti and others.
Chailly was so concerned about the level of concert playing in Italy that in 1999 he added the directorship of Milan’s Giuseppe Verdi Orchestra to his busy schedule, in an attempt to improve local standards.
The Boston Globe reported that under Chailly the Concertgebouw had found "a wonderful balance between clarity and warmth, power and subtlety, as it pursued an adventurous repertoire." It was a match made in heaven: Chailly and his orchestra toured and recorded prolifically, releasing more than 30 recordings, with no end in sight.

 The Neutral Tone
Riccardo Chailly, the maestro of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, can't quite conduct the same heat his predecessors did.
Chailly has been in charge of the Concertgebouw since 1988 -- time enough to stamp his ideas on the orchestra -- but even after a decade, his musical character remains strangely illusive and lacking any special definition.
But then, Chailly shares that sense of anonymity with most of the conductors of his generation, aged 45 to 60, musicians who have inherited the great orchestras of the world from their larger-than-life predecessors but project distinctly small personalities in comparison.

What Decca in the new Chailly have obviously aimed at is an impressive demonstration disc, and they succeed superbly.
One arguable point of balance is the forwardness of the oboe solo in that third movement though conversely horns are rather more recessive in the Decca recording than on Chandos, and the brass tend to cut through less cleanly in tuttis.
This is in many ways the most impressive record that Chailly has yet made with the great orchestra of which he has become artistic director.

 MusicTeachers.co.uk Online Journal - Reviews - Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 10
Chailly conceives the first movement as a single, arch-like structure; although its slightly slower than normal approach is at first disconcerting, it provides a warm, refined and atmospheric string tone.
Mahler's chamber-like woodwind textures, which require excellent delivery, also fare well under Chailly's direction: their sound is not as spare as in either of Rattle's recordings and discretion adds to the overall feeling of poise and dignity.
Chailly keeps in line with Cooke's version when the central section of the first movement is reintroduced, but I have to admit that, at this point, Rattle's reinforcement of the texture with extra percussion in the Berlin recording is effective and more climactic.

Riccardo Chailly, chief conductor of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, will probably never conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra as long as Bernard Haitink is permanent guest conductor.
Ten years ago, Chailly replaced Haitink in that Amsterdam post, and Haitink is allegedly still bitter.
It's too bad, because the Italian-born Chailly's volatility and imaginative musicianship are quite the opposite of Haitink's staid placidity.

Here, under the leadership of Riccardo Chailly, the players dont have much of a recognizably Mahlerian sound; in fact, their playing is rather mechanical and lifeless.
People may be disconcerted by Chaillys slow initial speed of the first part, but at least its completely what Mahler intended (as the score indicates Impetuoso but only a few bars later also mentions "Dont Hurry") and Chaillys interpretation is nothing short of accuracy and certainly isnt underplayed.
Chailly may not be the conductor for you if you are on the lookout for a hysterical, edgy, highly controversial, fast or rousing account of Mahlers 8th, but he does manage to press forward in a consciencious and responsible manner, bringing out details and colours some renditions simply pass by.

This is a well-deserved tribute to Riccardo Chailly as he leaves the Royal Concertgebouw to assume posts with the Leipzig Opera, Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Verdi Orchestra of Milan.
CD notes suggest the relationship between Chailly, the orchestra and management was perhaps a bit strained, saying in 2001 the orchestra elected to slowly phase out the working relationship with its principal conductor through 2008.
Because of "his great merit and deep commitment" and "his exceptional interpretations within a vast repertory" for the sixteen years during which he officially held the position of principal conductor, the title of conductor emeritus was conferred on Riccardo Chailly in 2003.
